Chapter 167: Be Good
In the night, Jian Wei and I almost stopped communicating. Until I had the desire to smoke again, I said to her: "Borrow a fire."
"Stop smoking."
I didn't say anything, looked up at the sky, Jian Wei looked at the sky with some confusion. I took the opportunity to smoke a lighter from her hand, lit the cigarette calmly, and started to smoke slowly, and then vomited out the messy emotions in my heart with the smoke.
Jian Wei didn't bother with me, wrapped her knees with her hands and asked me for a long time, "Zhaoyang, do you still remember how we met?"
"Remember..." I said and took another deep breath of cigarette. Then, the scene from the first meeting also appeared in my mind, but now I recalled it, it was just like a long-lasting dream.
Jian Wei smiled and said to me, "It's like something happened yesterday."
I looked at Jian Wei in surprise. Why did the two people who experienced love together have different understandings of time? In order to relieve this doubt, I asked Jian Wei: "When we were together, what made you feel more profound?"
Jian Wei replied without hesitation: "When you held the top ten singers on campus, you played the guitar for me...whether you?"
"Every weekend, your father drove a brigade to pick you up at the school gate." My answer was not sensible. It seemed that I had some discomfort since then, but at school, I did not amplify those negative emotions. I just felt that it was good to be happy together. But now when I recalled, the gap between them and Jian Wei was exactly what made me most profound. Of course, there were also beautiful scenes, but for me at this moment, those beauty was just a long-lasting dream!
Jian Wei was silent in my answer and said to me for a long time: "It's very late, it's time for me to go back."
"Well, the drive is slower on the road."
"I didn't drive, and the place I live is very close to here." Jian Wei said as she walked along the stairs toward the river bank.
I looked at her back and felt that there was something I didn't say, but I didn't know what it was, and then I felt a little bored.
At this time, Jian Wei stopped again and turned to me and said, "Zhaoyang, if the bar is very busy on New Year's Eve, call me and I'll go and help... the phone number has not been changed!"
I just looked at her and remembered the scene of asking her for a phone number when I first met. Although she said that the number had not been changed, it was no longer the number I could recite backwards.
...
When I got home, I took a shower in the cold, and then habitually lay on the bed and smoked, thinking about how to do a good job of warm marketing on New Year's Eve on the bar. The more I thought about it, the more I became, and the whole person became excited. Then I had insomnia, and I had insomnia until 4 o'clock in the night.
I lay in bed, opened WeChat in boredom, browsed the conversation records I had with Mi Cai, because this was a way for me to relieve boredom.
Suddenly I found that Mi Cai’s WeChat avatar had been replaced with the guitar I gave her. My personal updates were also updated. There were several photos of the guitar in the updates, and there was an additional text: Thank you, I like it very much!
I smiled. It seemed that she really liked it because she only updated this update on her WeChat.
Looking back at our hundreds of pages of dialogue records, I realized that we had really known each other for a long time, but the scene when we first met seemed to have happened yesterday.
I gradually became a little tired, and the phone slipped from my hand, but it became vibrated again. In the middle of the night, I received a WeChat message and immediately lost all sleep because it was sent by Mi Cai.
"Zhaoyang, I'm here!"
"It's here!"
Mi Cai replied with a shocked expression: "It's almost dawn in China. Haven't you been asleep yet?"
"You know it's dawn, so you sent me a message! Did you deliberately quarrel with me?"
"It wasn't intentional? I just got off the plane."
"So you want to report your safety to me as soon as possible?"
"Then are you worried about me?"
"What are you going to worry about? After all, the plane is known as the safest means of transportation in the world... The American people welcome you!"
Although I said I was not worried, Mi Cai didn't seem to be angry, and replied with a smile: "Get up and drink a glass of milk, hurry up and go to bed."
My mood suddenly changed subtly. At this moment, what she gave me was a girlfriend. I couldn't help but think: Will we really start a relationship when she comes back from the United States?
I really got up quickly, soaked a glass of milk in warm water, and after drinking it all, I replied to Mi Cai: "It's over!"
"Take a photo and come and have a look."
I didn't feel troublesome at all, so I took a photo of the empty cup I had finished drinking and sent it to her.
Mi Cai quickly replied with a satisfied expression: "Be good, hurry up and go to bed!"
"You are so good!"
"You're still good."
"I'm not as good as you."
"You are the most obedient!"
We started this boring conversation just over 10,000 kilometers away...
Wait, boring?
Not boring, at least in my heart, I long for her to be a very well-behaved woman so that I don’t have to worry too much, and what about her? I hope this is what I ask for.
...
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon. After a quick lunch, she told me that she was already with Robben and Leyao at this time, which made me envious. After all, they all have someone to accompany or accompany others, but I have to survive this New Year's Eve in Suzhou alone.
Throughout the afternoon, I was still stuck at home and doing New Year's Eve activity plans until Jian Wei called.
I answered the phone with some surprise: "Hey, is there anything wrong?"
"If you have time now, can you accompany me to buy some office equipment that the company needs to use?"
I didn't respond immediately, I just felt that this matter seemed a bit inappropriate.
Jian Wei said again: "You should be free during the day. If you help me during the day and I will go to the bar to help you at night, wouldn't it be more efficient?"
I thought about it and did not refuse Jian Wei. After leaving, the bar was in a hurry to have a singing person. If Jian Wei was willing, the vacancy seemed to be a mutually beneficial thing.
...
Shortly after the call, I met Jian Wei in a local square, and then divided the work and cooperated. I went to the computer market to purchase some office equipment such as computers and projectors, while Jian Wei went to the furniture market to purchase office desks and chairs.
It was already dusk when we met again. We chose a fast food restaurant on the side of the road and started a light meal. Then I communicated with her about the results of the afternoon purchase.
After listening to my story, Jian Wei said to me with a relaxed look on her face: "Zhaoyang, thank you. With your help, this is much more efficient. I am really tired from running in Suzhou these days!"
I smiled and said, "Don't thank me, we have an exchange. You get a guest performance at the bar in the evening."
"This is very relaxing... By the way, you have to use that guitar to accompany me tonight...!"
Before Jian Wei finished speaking, I was stunned. The guitar she gave me had been used by me to exchange another guitar with Aji, and then to Micai...
